Where REALTORS® Work for You

The real estate industry and housing market have been in the news lately. If you’re a potential home buyer or seller, you might be asking yourself: What does this mean for me? Who is a trusted source for answers? Who has the expertise to guide me through the complex process of buying and selling? Because it’s more complex than it sounds. It’s more involved than browsing through photos on the web. There are market trends to evaluate. Interest rates to consider. Housing inventory data to analyze. That's all before the inspections, negotiations, or mortgage.

A real estate app might be your first stop when you’re house hunting. But an app can only get you so far. App filters can’t interpret the nuances of each property, address your financial questions, or negotiate the best deal for you. But an agent who’s a REALTOR® has the expertise to guide your real estate journey from initial search to final walk through. While apps run on an algorithm, REALTORS® run on a Code of Ethics. Make sure your agent is a REALTOR®.

CCAR in the News

For potential clients looking to buy or sell a home, Acquisto recommended they connect with a licensed real estate professional. Buying a home is a complex and complicated process, and nobody should do it alone, she said.

“Maybe some of the conversations are different, but since the beginning of time we’ve changed our processes and they’ve improved,” she said. “Change is a constant. What hasn’t changed is the law of agency and how we represent our clients on both sides.”

Thank you to CCAR Immediate Past President, Shana Acquisto, for her interview with Community Impact about upcoming changes to the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). This information is important for consumers to know, in order to increase transparency in all real estate transactions.
